Cause #7: Thyroid problems
You might not suspect the thyroid to be a factor in a digestive issue, but let it be known that the thyroid affects and regulates a lot more than the immediate area that it resides in. One of the things that it takes care of is the digestive tract.
If your thyroid is overactive, it’ll overstimulate the digestive tract which can cause problems like diarrhea and cramping. Conversely, an under active thyroid will inhibit the digestion of food, causing constipation and related pain or discomfort.
